Understanding Iran's End Times Eschatology - The Mahdi & The Mosque

Understanding Iran's End Times Eschatology - The Mahdi & The Mosque   For the first time ever, a blood red flag is being flown over the famous Jamkaran Mosque in the Iranian “holy city” of Qom. The fact that this mosque is directly associated with the Islamic Mahdi makes this symbolic gesture doubly significant.

Hezbollah Says They Will Attack Israel If United States Responds To Iran Missile Attack By The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps On Tuesday

New post on Now The End Begins

Hezbollah Says They Will Attack Israel If United States Responds To Iran Missile Attack By The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps On Tuesday by Geoffrey Grider "We in no way consider the Zionist regime of Israel to be separate from the criminal US regime in these crimes," Hezbollah warned in a statement. No sooner than Iran launches over 36 ballistic missiles on US troop bases in Iraq than Hezbollah issues a statement saying that if the US responds in any way to Iran's attack, then they will immediately launch a strike against Israel. Looks like no one in Washington or Israel is getting any sleep tonight. Like we always tell you, whenever conflict pops in the Middle East that involves Iran, look immediately to Israel because that's where it's all leading. Now we see Hezbollah leading the charge, time will tell how serious this thing really is. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Esper arrived at the White House late on Tuesday after Iran fired missiles on at least two Iraqi air bases hosting U.S.-led coalition forces. A White House spokeswoman said President Donald Trump has been briefed on the attacks as is monitoring the situation closely. Vice President Mike Pence has been in contact with congressional leaders, a Pence spokeswoman said. Report: Hezbollah will attack Israel if US responds to Iran attack FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Hezbollah will attack Israel if the United States responds to missile attacks carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday night, according to the Iranian Tasnim news agency. "We in no way consider the Zionist regime of Israel to be separate from the criminal US regime in these crimes," the IRGC warned in a statement.  "We warn the Great Satan, the bloodthirsty and arrogant regime of the US, that any new wicked act or further aggression against Iran will bring about more painful and crushing responses," stressed the IRGC. The IRGC warned on their Telegram channel that they would attack Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and Haifa in Israel if Iranian soil is targeted, according to CNN. Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at targeted US bases in Iraq on Tuesday night in retaliation for the killing of former IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani last week. The Pentagon said that the missiles were launched from Iran. READ MORE

Iran Fires Dozens Of Ballistic Missiles At US Troops As It Begins ‘Operation: ‘Martyr Soleimani’ And The 82nd Airborne deploys to the Middle East

New post on Now The End Begins

Iran Fires Dozens Of Ballistic Missiles At US Troops As It Begins ‘Operation: ‘Martyr Soleimani’ And The 82nd Airborne deploys to the Middle East by Geoffrey Grider Iran has fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing American troops in a revenge attack for the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general. Iran has officially begun 'Operation: Martyr Soleimani' which is their official retaliation for  the killing of General Qassam Soleimani over the weekend. It began just a few hours ago with the firing of ballistic missiles from Iran in a cross-border attack on US forces in Iraq. The United States is right now at this moment sending waves of troops to the Middle East, including the 82nd Airborne from Fort Bragg in North Carolina. There are no reports of US casualties or injuries at this moment, but that could well change as this story is still breaking and very much in progress. But know this, for Iran to do a direct attack and not do a proxy attack as they usually do is a very different tact the Iranians have taken. This is the most direct aggression we have seen from Iran in quite some time. Buckle up and stay tuned. 'We're going to war, bro': Fort Bragg's 82nd Airborne deploys to the Middle East FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Ain al-Asad airbase in western Iraq that was visited by Donald Trump in December 2018 and the Erbil base in Iraqi Kurdistan were both struck by the missiles on Tuesday at about 5.30pm (EST). “We’re going to war, bro,” one cheered, holding two thumbs up and sporting a grin under close-shorn red hair. He stood among dozens of soldiers loading trucks outside a cinder-block building housing several auditoriums with long benches and tables. Days after President Donald Trump ordered the drone killing of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, raising fears of fresh conflict in the Middle East, the men and women of the U.S. Army’s storied 82nd Airborne Division are moving out in the largest “fast deployment” since the 2010 Haiti earthquake. source The Pentagon says the missiles were 'clearly launched from Iran' to target U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq. There was no immediate word on injuries but security sources told CNN that there were Iraqi casualties at the al-Asad airbase. President Donald Trump has been briefed on the attacks and Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were spotted arriving at the White House soon after news of the strikes broke. Iran's Revolutionary Guards, which controls the country's missile program, confirmed that they fired the rockets in retaliation for last week's killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, according to state TV. They reported the operation's name was 'Martyr Soleimani' and it took place just hours after the slain general's funeral.  The rockets used in the attack, according to Iranian TV, were Fatteh-110 ballistic missiles, which have a range of 186 miles or 300km. The Iranian air force has since deployed multiple fighter jets to patrol it airspace, according to reports - as Iran warned the U.S. and its allies in the region not to retaliate. READ MORE

Funeral For General Qassem Soleimani In Iran Gets Delayed After Mourners So Overcome They Cause Stampede Killing 50 And Injuring Hundreds More

New post on Now The End Begins

Funeral For General Qassem Soleimani In Iran Gets Delayed After Mourners So Overcome They Cause Stampede Killing 50 And Injuring Hundreds More by Geoffrey Grider In Iran, huge numbers of people filled thoroughfares, chanting "Death to America" and weeping with emotion. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei shed tears as he led prayers in Tehran on Monday. I cannot recall the last time, or the first time, crowds for a slain figure in Iran reached such epic proportions. Granted, the majority of the "mourners" were threatened under duress to either show up and mourn or receive harsh treatment of various kinds, but still, it's impressive to see. So in the midst of all this government-mandated mourning, a stampede broke out that killed 50 people and wounded hundreds more. Iranians are a passionate people to say the least. Iran is going to milk the death of Qassem Soleimani for every drop they can squeeze out of it. On an interesting and fairly amusing side note, the body of Soleimani was put on a plane in coach, just like you were shipping a box of auto parts or pots and pans. And yet, this is the man that 50 people died in a stampede to mourn. Burial of Qassem Soleimani delayed after 50 killed, 213 injured in Iran stampede FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: A stampede broke out at IRGC's Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani's funeral, killing 50 people and injuring more than 210, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing an emergency services official. Iran's ISNA news agency said the burial of Soleimani had been postponed due to the deaths and injuries, but did not say how long any delay would last. The death toll in a stampede during the funeral rose to 50 on Tuesday, Iran's ISNA news agency reported. The news agency was quoting the chief coroner for Kerman province, Abbas Amian. The funeral was taking place in the city of Kerman, Soleimani's hometown. Tens of thousands of people had gathered in Kerman to pay tribute to Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq on Friday. "Today, because of the heavy congestion of the crowd, a number of our fellow citizens who were mourning were unfortunately injured and a number were killed," emergency medical services chief Pirhossein Kolivand told state television. He did not give further details. The body of Qassem Soleimani, a national hero whose death has united many Iranians, had been taken to Iraqi and Iranian cities before arriving in Kerman for burial. READ MORE

Nancy Pelosi Crafting A New ‘War Powers Resolution’ That Will Protect Iran And Accuse President Trump Of ‘War Crimes’ For The Killing Of Rogue Iran General Qassem Solemani

New post on Now The End Begins

Nancy Pelosi Crafting A New ‘War Powers Resolution’ That Will Protect Iran And Accuse President Trump Of ‘War Crimes’ For The Killing Of Rogue Iran General Qassem Solemani by Geoffrey Grider Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wrote a letter to her Democrat colleagues in the House on Sunday to reveal a new “War Powers Resolution” that amounts to a pre-emptive surrender to Iran in ongoing hostilities. The man that President Trump ordered the strike is someone who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in the Middle East, and who was also behind the recent attack on the US Embassy in Baghdad. Taking out Qassem Soleimani was not only an easy call to make, it was one that was long overdue. The reason why he was not taken out before was because he had been protected for 8 years by the Obama administration. Now that Trump has taken decisive action, Nancy Pelosi is order Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution that will protect Iran from further attacks, and to declare that President Trump is guilty of 'war crimes'. When the real news sounds like you're reading the satire site The Babylon Bee, you know things are really bad, and right now things are crazy bad in America. Yesterday when I asked which Democrat was going to be the first to collect the $80 million for the killing of President Trump being offered now by factions in Iran, a few commentors took me to task for even suggesting that jokingly. I wasn't joking, and yet here we are less than 24 hours later and what do we see? Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic-controlled Congress preparing to pass a War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump from protecting America. Right now, America's biggest enemy and largest threat does not come from the Middle East, it comes from the Democratic Party who is doing everything they can to destroy this nation as fast as they can. One of these days, sooner rather than later, they just might do it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Introduce Resolution Implying Pre-emptive Surrender to Iran FROM BREITBART NEWS: Pelosi’s letter begins with the declaration that President Donald Trump’s airstrike last week targeting Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, leader of the terrorist Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) Quds Force, responsible for the murders of hundreds of Americans and for recent attacks on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, was “provocative and disproportionate,” terms suggesting the attack was illegal under international law and could constitute a war crime. Harvard Law School professor emeritus (and Democrat) Alan Dershowitz argued in Monday’s Wall Street Journal that the strike was not only lawful, but an “easy call”: “The president has the constitutional authority to take military actions, short of declaring war, that he and his advisers deem necessary to protect American citizens. This authority is extremely broad, especially when the actions must, by their nature, be kept secret from the intended target.” Nonetheless, Pelosi’s letter indicates that the House will declare the president’s action illegal under international law. The letter further claims that Trump’s action “endangered our servicemembers, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran” — placing the responsibility for violence not on Iran, which recently attacked a U.S. Navy drone; a Saudi oil field; and, via proxies, Americans soldiers and civilians in Iraq; but on the United States, which had restrained itself until the recent assault by an Iranian-backed militia on the embassy. The letter goes on to describe a new resolution that would “limit the President’s military actions regarding Iran,” essentially signaling a surrender in the potential conflict before the Iranian regime itself had managed to respond. Pelosi adds that the resolution “reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.” Under current law, the War Powers Act of 1973 limits the time that a president can lead a military effort, without formal authorization, to 60 days following a required presidential report to Congress when hostilities begin. The new resolution, which Pelosi says mirrors a similar Senate bill by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), would amount to an effective surrender by signaling that the president had no congressional support for striking back against Iran, and imposing a new deadline for any military action that would give Iran greater freedom of action. Paradoxically, the resolution could force the president to choose more drastic measures of conducting a war effort before the deadline. By declaring the attack “provocative and disproportionate,” the resolution also invites international prosecution of the president, as well as members of the administration and the military itself, who carry out his orders. The U.S. does not recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute Americans for war crimes, but the ICC takes a different view, and a future Democratic administration might well side with the ICC instead. Pelosi’s letter indicates that the new “War Powers Resolution” will be introduced and voted on this week. She has not yet indicated when she will transfer the articles of impeachment passed by the House on Dec. 18 to the Senate, which she claims is a necessary prerequisite to the Senate holding a trial on the president’s removal from office. READ MORE

Hardcore Liberal Ricky Gervais Stuns Hollywood Into Shocked Silence As He Calls Out The Global Elites And Pedophiles Who Run The Industry

New post on Now The End Begins

Hardcore Liberal Ricky Gervais Stuns Hollywood Into Shocked Silence As He Calls Out The Global Elites And Pedophiles Who Run The Industry by Geoffrey Grider “You’ll be pleased to know this is the last time I’m hosting the Golden Globe Awards,” Ricky Gervais said Sunday. “I don’t care anymore. I never did.” It was not supposed to go like that at the Golden Globes last night, not by a country mile. Liberal comedian Ricky Gervais, known for his biting humor, was just supposed to say some funny things about the rich and famous, do his bit and go home. Instead, Ricky Gervais, who is a Liberal, took at at the Hollywood elites and shot them with both barrels. Repeatedly. He made jokes about Apple's Chinese sweatshops that produce their products, he referenced the pervasive pedophile culture, and blasted the rich and out of touch A-Listers for being rich and out of touch. "Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God." 1 Corinthians 4:5 (KJV) When I got saved 29 years ago, I was an up-and-coming Hollywood actor with dreams of stardom, and I was making great progress towards that goal when the Lord Jesus Christ stepped in and changed my direction as well as my eternity. Best day of my life. So I can tell you from a first-hand perspective that every bad thing you hear about Hollywood is all true, and it's much worse than what you have heard. Hollywood is so ridden with all manner of sexual perversion, addictions, lust and greed that it almost qualifies as a modern day Babylon. Kudos for Ricky Gervais for torching the whole thing last night. Your career is finished, but you went out with a bang. The reaction to Ricky Gervais opening monologue at the Golden Globes on Sunday night? It was a killer. FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: Ricky Gervais, hosting for the fifth time, repeatedly assured the audience he didn’t care about their gasps and shocked reactions to his most controversial jokes — after all, he said, it’s his last time hosting. “Let’s have a laugh at your expense, shall we? Remember, they’re just jokes,” he advised the famous members of the audience. “We’re all gonna die soon, and there’s no sequel.” Here are some of the most scathing lines — except for the vulgar digs about James Corden and Judi Dench as he skewered the disastrous “Cats,” which we aren’t allowed to repeat because this is a family newspaper. Hollywood Pedophiles “In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world, people from every background. But they all have one thing in common: They’re all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He’s coming for you. He’s coming for you. Look, talking to all you perverts, it was a big year for pedophile movies. ‘Surviving R. Kelly.’ ‘Leaving Neverland.’ ‘The Two Popes.’ ” CLICK TO VISIT THE NTEB HOLLYWOOD ARTICLE ARCHIVE AND SEE WHAT YOUR FAVORITE STAR IS UP TO Hollywood Hypocrisy “Apple roared into the TV game with ‘The Morning Show,’ a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing — made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. You say you’re woke, but the companies you work for, I mean, unbelievable: Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service, you’d call your agent, wouldn’t you? So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God, and [bleep].” Jeffrey Epstein “No one cares about movies anymore, no one goes to the cinema, no one really watches network TV. Everyone’s watching Netflix. This show should just be me coming out going, ‘Well done Netflix, you win everything, good night.’ But no, we’ve got to drag it out three hours. You could binge watch the entire first season of ‘After Life’ instead of watching this show. That’s a show about a man who wants to kill himself because his wife dies of cancer — and it’s still more fun than this. Spoiler alert, Season 2 is on the way, so in the end, he obviously didn’t kill himself — just like Jeffrey Epstein. (gasps) Shut up! I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care. You had to make your own way here on your own plane, didn’t you?” READ MORE

United States And Canadian Embassies Warn Their Citizens Living In Israel About Possible Missile Attacks From Iran And Proxies In The Coming Days

New post on Now The End Begins

United States And Canadian Embassies Warn Their Citizens Living In Israel About Possible Missile Attacks From Iran And Proxies In The Coming Days by Geoffrey Grider The US Embassy in Jerusalem issued a security alert on Monday, warning its citizens of a possible missile attack on Israel. When all this news first broke a few days ago about the hostilities between the United States and Iran over the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the first thing we told you was look to Israel. Why? Because the Bible is true and all world conflict will ultimately lead you straight to Israel's doorstep. And here we are just 2 days later and what do we see? We see the US Embassy as well as the Canadian Embassy in Israel warning their citizens of a possible missile strike in the coming days. "Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy." Zephaniah 3:8 (KJV) It was just a few months ago that Iran released a video showing how they would launch a missile attack against Israel. The hour-long video shows Iranian Sejjil missiles “striking critical targets in Tel Aviv". Now Iran has gotten the excuse they've been waiting for, and happily sacrifice Soleimani to do it. Just talk a look at the incredible dog and pony show Iran is putting on right now as the mourn for the dead Soleimani, watch as Iran's supreme leader makes sure the camera is catching him crying and shedding "real tears". They are doing all this as justification for the coming attack, not on the United States, but on their arch-enemy and most-hated opponent, Israel. United Stats and Canadian embassies warn citizens of possible missile attack on Israel FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “Heightened tension in the Middle East may result in security risks to US citizens abroad,” the embassy said in a press release. “Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy strongly encourages US citizens to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness, as security incidents, including rocket fire, often take place without warning.” Two days prior, the Canadian Embassy in Tel Aviv issued a travel warning for the region, saying the “security situation could worsen with little warning.” It called on its citizens to “exercise caution.” US intelligence is currently assessing whether Iran is preparing a retaliatory attack as a response to the assassination of IRGC Quds force commander Qasem Soleimani. According to CNN, there are indications that Iran has ramped up the readiness of its short and medium range ballistic missile force in the country. Crocodile Tears On Full Display Iran’s supreme leader wept in grief with hundreds of thousands of mourners thronging Tehran’s streets for the funeral of military commander Qassem #Soleimani https://t.co/2G2qTVW0xS pic.twitter.com/IovcfA9bA1 — Reuters (@Reuters) January 6, 2020 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday nobody should threaten his nation, responding to a tweet from US President Donald Trump in which he threatened to strike 52 sites in Iran. "Those who refer to the number 52 should also remember the number 290. #IR655," Rouhani tweeted, referring to the 1988 shooting down of an Iranian airline by a US warship in which 290 were killed. "Never threaten the Iranian nation." Hezbollah-affeliated media site Al-Manar reported Saturday that an American response to an Iranian retaliation would lead to the Islamic Republic launching a strike on Tel Aviv and Israel's northern port city Haifa. Israel's natural gas facilities and power stations are also within the republic's missile range. Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported that Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah declared the "Great Liberation War" against the US, saying that "American soldiers will return to the US in coffins." "I declare that all US military bases and battleships, as well as every US officer and soldier on our land and in our region are legitimate targets to respond to the assassination crime," Nasrallah said. "It is the US army that killed Soleimani, and it will pay the price." Since Soleimani's assassination, US forces and Iranian-backed militias traded blows in Baghdad, with multiple katyusha rockets being fired toward the city's heavily fortified Green Zone housing government buildings and foreign missions, as well as the US embassy in Iraqi capital. READ MORE Iran Simulates A Possible Counter Attack On Israel "Back in May of 2019, Iranian state TV aired a documentary about Iran’s missile capabilities in confronting external threats and responding to any strikes against its soil. The one hour long documentary includes a video simulation of Iranian respond to an airstrike by Israel against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Ignoring international law Israel repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran. In 2012 Israeli military leaders have conducted a war game simulating a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. In the Iranian video simulation of responding to possible Israeli air strike, Iran used its Sijjil long range missile to hit critical targets in Tel Aviv." READ MORE
